July 20. Thurs. The forenoon was cloudy and the heat oppressive. Uncle has at last consented to be moved down into what was Eddie's room. He has grown so feeble that he cannot well get up and down the stairs, and now it will be much less trouble for us to wait upon him. We know he feels that he is leaving forever the room which he has so long called his home and enjoyed so much, so he has remained there just as long as he could. he is failing in strength very fast. Received a letter from Ada and wrote to her. (T.S.R. 65. 2 P.M. 94. S.S. 77.)
